This is David Sullivan with the knight and how to use it. This is a white knight. You begin the game with two white knights. A knight moves in an L-shape like from here D4 goes one, two and then one. Notice the letter L, but this L can be backwards, one,two one in this direction or it can be kind of sideways and upside down.
The rook can move any number of squares in a straight line along any column or row. They CANNOT move diagonally for any reason. In the example shown in the diagram on the upper-right, the rook can move or capture in any square that has a blue dot. The simplicity of the rook's movement is indeed what makes it powerful. It can cover a significant area of the board and there are no areas which an opponent's piece - moving one square at a time - can slip through. Note that at all times the rook has the potential to attack 14 squares.
